Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
All right, so what are the chances of this: Last week, we reported seeing the Fray on the inside cover of
Rolling Stone. Last night, I cracked open the new issue of
Spin, and right there on page 86 is the smiling faces of Meese staring back at me. As with their comrades in the Fray, the men of Meese were not editorialized but rather appear in a quasi advertorial for Knob Creek by way of photos taken at an event co-sponsored by the booze peddler and
Spin. Just the same, the band is likely to generate some press with its forthcoming major label debut, which, coincidentally, the group literally just put the finishing touches on yesterday.
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
